Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2703 A Man's Achievement
The fleet sailed past the wharf of Huating Town, and went upstream along the waterway of Wusong River for another distance. The heyday falls far away in another world.

Where the flagship was going, the iron cables on the Henglan River were loosened by the winch and slowly sank to the bottom of the river. The ship passed smoothly. A small fast boat sailed out of the military port and made a bend on the river in front of the flagship. Leading the fleet slowly into the harbor.

Rows of battleships were neatly parked at their respective piers, and they could not be seen at a glance. Countless sailors were transporting supplies and repairing the hull on the warships. When Fang Jun's flagship entered the port, most of them put down their work and ran Go to the side of the ship and raise your arms and shout.

The voice of "Marshal" went straight into the sky.

Among the royal navy created by Fang Jun, he has unparalleled prestige. Even though he no longer serves as the commander of the navy in name, the title of "Marshal" is only available to him. Even though Su Dingfang has gradually established his prestige with his outstanding military exploits, almost all the sailors have always had the same cognition——Fang Jun will always be the real commander of this navy.

When the fleet entered the port, the princesses who were watching the bustle by the window on the cockpit immediately showed different expressions when they heard the shout like a tsunami.

Princess Jinyang was a little puzzled: "Are they really calling brother-in-law? But brother-in-law is no longer the commander of the navy. Why do you still call him that? I heard that General Su Dingfang is also a rare and powerful general. They soldiers call like this, they will not Does it make General Su unhappy?"

The little princess heard the rumors in the palace, and she also knew a little bit about the navy, so she was very worried about Fang Jun.

Princess Gao Yang's slender waist was straight, and her beautiful jade face looked very serious, but the slightly raised corners of her lips revealed her inner pride.

When my husband single-handedly created such a city in the desolate land that gathered the world's wealth, as a wife, I was naturally honored.

Especially to be able to get the sincere support of countless sailors and soldiers, what kind of personality charm is this?
Princess Changle's eyes sparkled, she took Princess Jinyang's hand, and explained: "In fact, although the Duke of Yue is no longer the commander of the navy, he has been in charge of the royal navy. In name, he is Supreme Commander. Besides, don’t think that your brother-in-law only knows how to fight and cause trouble all day long. Not only is he brave in battle, but he is also not an idle person to control people’s hearts. A student of the Duke, who has been repeatedly suppressed and neglected for his talents, it was Fang Jun who knew people and kindly promoted him to the commander-in-chief of the army, and he has already become Fang Jun's hard-core confidant, how can he be jealous because of the support of the soldiers?"

It seems that after leaving Chang'an City, all kinds of shackles have disappeared, and Princess Changle, who has always been dignified and rigorous, also spoke in a frivolous tone and teased Fang Jun a few words.

Princess Chengyang looked out of the window with her eyes serene, she didn't say a word, but her slender hands tightly clenched the brocade handkerchief...

The warship docked and the gangplank hadn't been set up yet, but Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian had trotted over from a distance, commanded the officers and subordinates under them to set up the gangplank, and opened huge umbrellas one after another.

When Li Tai took the lead to disembark, Fang Jun and Du He followed closely behind, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian rushed forward to salute.

"The last general (lower position) has met His Royal Highness King Wei and the Duke of Yue!"

"Haha, General Su's reputation is far and wide now, and this king has been famous for a long time. It's a great honor to meet you today! Pei Erlang please hurry up, Chang'an has been gone for several years, and I was worried that you would leave Chang'an, which is so beautiful and prosperous." This land is not used to the heat and mist in the south of the Yangtze River, so who would have expected that Huating Town would be able to single-handedly maintain the huge wealth of Huating Town, even the Emperor Father has said many times, saying that you are a famous talent and a pillar of the country, given time, you must be reused!"

Dealing with people has always been Wei Wang Li Tai's strong point. He is quick-witted and eloquent, and he can easily win the favor of others. The key is that he is willing to make friends.

This His Highness is withdrawn and rebellious, arrogant...

Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian said they didn't dare, and before they got up, several princesses got off the boat surrounded by the accompanying maids, and hurried forward to pay respects again.

"The place of the military port, the facilities are rough, and the place where the princesses are neglected, the general will be willing to be punished."

Su Dingfang was a little apprehensive. Regardless of the military port or Huating Town, they usually only received a few officials from Suzhou. Due to the affiliation of the military port and Huating Town, and Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian were not the kind of people who would go around and make good friends. At most, I will stay for a meal when I come, and I will definitely not deal with the troublesome things of welcoming and sending, so I have always been lacking in reliance.

It's raining today, but only a few carriages can be found in Jungang and Huating Town, not even a decent walking chariot, so we can only use umbrellas to cover the princesses from the rain...

Among the several princesses, Princess Changle is the oldest and the most dignified. She smiled softly and said softly, "Among the army, there are many soldiers and murderous spirits. The generals who fight for the country and fight fiercely on the battlefield are the leaders of the country." Backbone, we women came here to disturb us on a whim, and we are already terrified, how dare we punish the general again? Although we are women, we are not weak people who do not touch the spring water with our fingers. "

Su Dingfang was terrified: "I dare not be praised by Your Highness."

Fang Jun said from the side: "Okay, as a soldier of the Royal Navy, you are the minions of the royal family. Why do you need to talk about two different families? It is still raining today, so let's set off for Huating Town to settle down quickly. Mu Yuanzuo is almost here, and when the time comes, let him find a suitable place in Suzhou City so that we can accommodate the princesses."

"The last will obey!"

Su Dingfang took the order, and immediately greeted the only few carriages to drive over, first waited for the princesses to get on the carriage, and then protected Wei Wang Li Tai to board another carriage, and rode with Fang Jun himself. The brigade headed towards the Huating Town Office in a mighty manner.

……

Over the past few years, Huating Town has been receiving disaster victims and refugees from the north and south, especially those who are struggling with their families, and they are actively registering them for naturalization. For food, when they arrived in Huating Town, they immediately settled down and worked hard with all their heart, just to be able to stay here for a long time, with a tile to cover their bodies, and two meals to eat.

After settling here, I discovered that although the seemingly small town of Huating does not have many fields for farming, its commerce is extremely developed. Not only are there dozens of local saltworks that recruit a large number of laborers all year round, but there are also plenty of jobs on the wharf. With a lot of strength, you can survive with a few bags of goods on your back.

After saving a few months' wages, they can buy a few looms, and even the elderly, weak, women and children in the family can earn a living with their hands.

The only bad thing is that all the families who settle here, the school-age children in the family must go to the school organized by the township office. Although the school is free, and the school even has a lunch, but for the poor people to study Becoming an official is something that you can't even think about, but the loss of a working man in the family makes everyone feel uncomfortable for a while.

But when the children said "Zhihu Zheye" and the abacus in their hands crackled, the parents seemed to realize that we were born with mud legs and had a child who studied...

In such a prosperous and prosperous place, the rivers piled on the ground are full of inexhaustible money and food. If the children and grandchildren can read and write, they may have a great future. Who would be willing to leave?Not only did he not leave, but he tried every means to inform his relatives and friends in his hometown, and hurried to Huating Town with his family.

As a result, the population of Huating Township exploded.

Now along the warehouse area behind the wharf to the east and south, large areas have been occupied by well-planned red brick residential buildings. The more and more people are getting more and more businesses, such as restaurants, teahouses, and grocery stores. There are shopping malls, car dealerships, inns, even gambling houses and brothels, and they have formed a town of a certain scale.

Compared with many counties in Guanzhong, it is more prosperous.

There is a row of luxuriously decorated houses behind the town office, which were originally used to receive officials. Naturally, the officials who stayed here had already been driven away at this time, so that the princesses could temporarily settle down.

Fang Jun had just settled the princesses, when an official from Huating Town reported that Mu Yuanzuo, the governor of Suzhou, had arrived and asked to see His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the Duke of Yue, and to say hello to the princesses.
